Sociological surveys in Latvia

SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN LATVIA: OUR APPROACHES

Our market research professionals in Latvia use different approaches and methods to study society and public social behavior. Most sociological research in this country involves ethnography, or “field work” designed to depict the characteristics of a population as fully as possible.

Below you see the list of countries (including Latvia), where we conduct sociological surveys:

The most popular social research methods are:

  • A. Cross‐sectional, in which scientists study a number of individuals of different ages who have the same trait or characteristic of interest at a single time
  • B. Longitudinal, in which scientists study the same individuals or society repeatedly over a specified period of time
  • C. Cross‐sequential, in which scientists test individuals in a cross‐sectional sample more than once over a specified period of time

MRP-EURASIA, as a market research provider in Latvia organizes 6 basic types of surveys/studies:

1. Life style surveys

2. Consumer studies

3. Sociological studies/insights and surveys

4. Socio-psychological studies/insights and surveys

5. Socio-political studies/insights and surveys

6. Studies/insights of electoral preferences and expectations

We are providing the social surveys in the following main directions:

1 Sociology of Transformations: East and West

2 Social Policy

3 Political Sociology

4 Global, transnational and cosmopolitan sociology

5 Economic Sociology

6 Disaster, Conflict and Social Crisis

7 Sociology of Culture and Religions

8 Sociology of Consumption

9 Sociology of demographic groups, social minorities and gender relations

10 Sociology of law enforcement and good governance

We were often involved to the such social research topics as:

1."Phenomenon and background of "color" and "flower" revolutions in former Soviet countries”.

2. "Detection of strained social situations and modeling of political processes in the emerging economies".

3. "Destabilization factors in Russia's relations with the surrounding countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia".

4. "The comparative study of public opinion in the former Soviet Union countries on the social and political promises, perspectives and values of the "West": and "East"...
